Before College: The object that I had/have before college is a shirt. Yes, a shirt. It's a shirt that I have had since I was about 5 years old. Most people I know either have some sort of stuffed animal or a blanket from their childhood that they can not let go. My childhood present just so happen to be one of my mother's shirts. I never understood what it was about that shirt, but it was something that I simply cared about and it makes me happy. I feel like it has been there through the good and the bad. It makes me feel very comfortable. There have been times when I called myself trying to "outgrow" the shirt, but it always found its way back to me. I currently have it here with me in college. It sits on top of my blankets on my bed. Of course, I always get asked "What is this thing?" , because it is very torn and old now, but I tell them it's a shirt. They may look at me crazy, but most people understand when I tell them it's like that bear or the monkey that they brought to college with them. It's something that is apart of me and I will never let it go.
At College: A moment at college would be move in day. It was a nice day, kind of hot, but overall the perfect day to move into a college dorm. When my family and I got to the campus, there were a lot signs around, students, music and just excitement. When we arrived to my dorm hall, I signed in to get my key. I then grabbed a bin to put all of my stuff in and we finally went upstairs. It was me, my grand mom, my mom and a close cousin. It took us forever to settle in and organize everything just how I wanted it, but when it was done, it finally hit me. I was a freshman in college and this was a new beginning for me. I wasn't used to being alone and having my own responsibilities so I knew that this was going to be a challenge for me. I gave my family a huge hug, said goodbye and walked back to my room. It was a great feeling and moment to remember.

In the Future: "Wake up, wake up, wake up," screamed Todd as he got up to get dressed. It was a bright and early Monday and a lot of things were to be planned for today.
"Sheesh, I'm up. Why do the weekend have to be over already?" I said as rolled out of the bed to start my day. Todd is my fiancé and we got engaged 4 years ago as soon as I graduated from grad school. I am currently a Prosthodontics for celebrities in Atlanta and I met Todd my junior year at Bloomsburg University. Everything easily fell in place after my Sophomore year and I couldn't ask for anything better. I have two things that are very important to me; two rings. I have a class ring from graduating college which is such a relief to look at every time, because I put so much time and effort into my work to get where I am at toda. The second ring is my engagement ring. The ring that I would never want to take off of my hand. These two rings mean everything to me, because they are equivalent to my happiness in life. They both remind me everyday that success and education are the two things that made me become the woman that I am today.
